I think Wilfredo's skills were superior to Felix Trinidad's. Wilfredo didnt like to train, was with women during training. Trinidad was very disciplined, more charismatic. But I think Wilfredo was a better boxer.

I agree, in his early career he had amazing footwork and his punch placement was great as well, watching him dominate a well schooled techinician like Davila really showcased how good he really was, by the time he got to Sanchez he wasn't the same fighter, Trinidad was much more one-dimensional than Gomez. I rate Trinidad 3rd in Puerto Rico's greatest behind Carlos Ortiz and Gomez.

Gomez was two months shy of his 25th birthday when he fought Sanchez. Are you saying he was washed up by then? Spare me the excuses. Wilfredo was in the prime of his career when the two met and he was beaten, dominated, and thoroughly outclassed. And that result would've repeated itself over and over again no matter how many times they rematched.

His fight w/Davila was a good one but Albert was a natural batamweight and the difference in size showed.

Wilfredo Gomez and Salvador Sanchez are two sensational champions and people should admire how many champions come from these two countries Viva Puerto Rico y Viva Mexico

Gomez no debe sentir ninguna verguenza... Perdio contra el mejor peleador mejicano y uno de los mas grandes de latinoamerica, Salvador Sanchez. Me siento orgulloso de nuestro Wilfredo que gano grandes peleas contra leyendas como Pintor y Zarate

This is a great fight with two great champions.

@GdelTres I echo the sentiments of most here who say there were no excusues for Gomez losing to Sanchez.Do you know what excuses are for? For losers.The only excuse a fighter can legitamately have for losing is that he is simply old and a shell of his former self.This was not the case with Gomez vs Sanchez. Both fighters were young and in their prime.Do you really accept the excuse that Gomez took Sanchez lightly? Would you take Salvador Sanchez lightly,who also happens to be bigger? Me neither.

no pueden decir que Gomez lo domino por que Pintor dio mucha pelea..

cant say Gomez Dominated him because Pintor fight like a warrior...

I remember this @ the time in 1982 I think but anyway the intensity , punch variety and fortune changes make this a fight to rival hagler v hearns - fantastic
